COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: CITYWIDE URBAN REVITALIZATION AREA DESIGNATION AND PLAN
TO INCENTIVIZE NEW RESIDENTIAL HOUSING CONSTRUCTION
BACKGROUND:
On February 27, City Council reviewed the request from the AEDC Short Term Housing Taskforce to
consider incentives for new construction of residential housing. Staff provided background information
regarding housing construction and examples of other communities with property tax abatement
incentives. City staff also discussed options for eligibility criteria, including green building
requirements.
At the February 27 meeting, City Council directed staff to prepare an Urban Revitalization Area
(URA) designation for the entire City if feasible, and to include a Plan for incentivizing
construction of new ownership housing, subject to certain eligibility limitations pertaining.
Council also directed staff to provide options at a late date for incentivizing green building
construction with an alternative program. Staff returned to City Council on March 7 to finalize
the city-wide area designation and notification requirements for all property owners in the City
and set April 9 as the public hearing date for the URA Designation and Plan.
The Draft Plan is included as Attachment A. The URA designation will apply city-wide to the current
boundaries of the City. When the City annexes additional lands, an amendment to the Plan would be
required to incorporate the new lands into the boundaries of the URA.
To approve an Urban Revitalization Area, Iowa Code 404 outlines certain conditions that must exist. A
City Council resolution must be adopted that declares that a URA designation is necessary and that it
conforms to the requirements of Chapter 404. Expanding housing options within the community is
both desirable and necessary for the economic health of the city and having a URA is in the
interest of general welfare of the residents of the City. The designation of the entire city as a URA
conforms to the criteria that the area is appropriate for the construction of new housing
described in Iowa Code 404.1.
The URA Plan includes background and objectives of the City of Ames for encouraging the creation of
additional new construction ownership housing in the City. Section 7 of the Plan includes
requirements for new residential construction to comply with certain requirements to be
"Qualified Real Estate" eligible for a partial property tax abatement incentive,including:
i. A residential dwelling with its related improvements, for the actual value of improvements up to a
maximum value of$500,000.
ii. The qualified improvement must have received a building permit from the City of Ames, Iowa
prior to December 31, 2027.
iii. Improvements must be completed in conformance with zoning and building code standards of the
Ames Municipal Code.
1
iv. Only the Residential assessment classification of improvements is eligible,regardless of underlying
zoning. Property classified as agricultural or zoned agricultural is not eligible.
v. The property must be owner-occupied, inclusive of all building types with individual defined
ownership, including single family detached, single family attached, condominiums, accessory,
dwelling units, and two-family homes.
vi. Located on a vacant lot that was not previously developed with a single-family dwelling that was
demolished to allow for new improvements.
Section 8 of the Plan includes a duration designed to allow for new construction of housing
starting as late as December 31, 2027 and requires the construction to be completed no later than
December 31, 2028. This means that any improvements that begin on or after January 1, 2028 will be
ineligible as Qualified Real Estate and any improvements completed on or after January 1, 2029 will be
ineligible,regardless of when construction had begun.
Properties with improvements may be eligible for a partial property tax exemption on New Construction
improvements as described in Section 7 of the Plan and within the duration of the Plan listed in Section
8 of the Plan. A partial property tax exemption on the first $500,000 of eligible improvements is
authorized on five-year sliding scale as follows:
Year 1- 100%
Year 2- 80%
Year 3- 60%
Year 4- 40%
Year 5- 20%
The required improvements and eligibility must be maintained for the life of the tax exemption. If the
home is not owner-occupied the City Council can determine the property is no longer Qualified Real
Estate and notify the City Assessor the property is no longer eligible for abatement. Staff intends to
relay on the "homestead credit" primarily to determine consistency with the owner occupied
requirement.
PUBLIC NOTICE:
Notification for the public hearing was mailed to all property owners in the City on March 8. A public
hearing notice was also published in the newspaper. The draft URA Plan was made available on the
City's website on the Planning Division webpage.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the resolution for conformance to Iowa Code 404, approve the ordinance for city-wide
Urban Revitalization Area (URA) designation, and the resolution approving the Plan to incentivize new
construction of ownership residential housing as described in Attachment A.
2. Approve the resolution for conformance to Iowa Code 404, approve the ordinance for city-wide
Urban Revitalization Area (URA) designation, and the resolution approving the Plan to incentivize new
construction of ownership residential housing with modifications.
2
3. Continue the public hearing to another date and direct staff to provide additional information.
4. Deny approval of the ordinance for the URA designation and resolution for the Plan.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff estimates (using 2023 tax rates)that if a property owner claims the full $500,000 allowance, then
during the 5-year abatement schedule the homeowner would pay approximately $7,400 in taxes to the
County and City. Over the same period, the homeowner's property tax liability would be reduced by
$11,100 compared to no abatement. The homeowner will pay 100% of the school district taxes during
the five years.
A critical element of the new housing construction incentive is the timing of completing the
improvements. State law only allows for improvements made after approval of a URA to be
eligible to file for the property tax abatement incentive. This means homes completed before
approval of the URA will not receive a tax abatement incentive. If a home is under construction but not
completed,part of the improvement may be eligible for abatement based upon the date of approval of
the URA. The owner will need to provide information at the time they file for the abatement what the
specific qualified improvements are and their estimated value that will be eligible for abatement. All
improvement started after approval of the URA will be eligible for the maximum incentive of$500,000
of abatement of improvement value if they are completed in accordance with the URA Plan.
Approval of the URA designation and Plan require: the following two actions by City Council. First, the
city-wide URA designation will require approval of an ordinance including the typical three readings.
Second, the URA Plan will require approval of a resolution.
If City Council desires to accelerate the final approval of the URA designation, it could consider
waiving the Council's rules and complete all three readings on April 9 and approve the ordinance.
If City Council waives the rules, the ordinance would be published on April 12 and become effective.
If City Council does not waive the rules, the third reading is scheduled for the Council's regular
meeting on May 14 and the ordinance would be published on May 17. Approval of the resolution
for the Plan will be contingent on the date the ordinance is effective.
In accordance with the City Council's goal to increase the diversity of housing in the city, it is the
recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve either Alternative #1 for the city-
wide URA designation and Plan consistent with Attachment A.
Please note that at the February 27th City Council meeting, there was a motion to direct staff to
provide options for criteria related to green building and sustainability measures as an additional
option to the basic requirements of the proposed URA. Approval of the proposed city-wide URA
allows for City Council to amend the URA Plan at any time to modify criteria or to provide an
alternative abatement schedule with a normal published notice requirement and not full citywide
mailed notification.

Citywide Urban Revitalization Area Plan
Background.
Iowa Code 404 allows for a City to address revitalization needs of the community through a process of
designating revitalization areas.The purpose for revitalization within the Citywide Plan is to support
construction of new housing within the City. The primary purpose of the plan is to provide a partial
property abatement incentive for qualified real estate that is consistent with the criteria of the approved
plan.
The portion of the Act codified at Section 404.1 of the Iowa Code provides that the City Council
may, by ordinance, designate an area of the city as a revitalization area, if that area is any of the
following:
1. An area in which there is a predominance of buildings or improvements, whether
residential or nonresidential,which by reason of dilapidation, deterioration, obsolescence,
inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air, sanitation, or open spaces, high density of
population and overcrowding,the existence of conditions which endanger life or property
by fire and other causes or a combination of such factors, is conducive to ill health,
transmission of disease, infant mortality,juvenile delinquency or crime, and which is
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare.
2. An area which by reason of the presence of a substantial number of deteriorated or
deteriorating structures, predominance of defective or inadequate street layout,
incompatible land use relationships,faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy,
accessibility or usefulness, unsanitary or unsafe conditions, deterioration of site or other
improvements, diversity of ownership,tax or special assessment delinquency exceeding
the actual value of land, defective or unusual conditions of title, or the existence of
conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or a combination of
such factors, substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of a municipality, retards
the provision of housing accommodations or constitutes an economic or social liability
and is a menace to the public health, safety, or welfare in its present condition and use.
3. An area in which there is a predominance of buildings or improvements which by reason
of age, history, architecture or significance should be preserved or restored to productive
use.
4. An area which is appropriate as an economic development area as defined in Section
403.17.
5. An area designated as appropriate for public improvements related to housing and
residential development, or construction of housing and residential development,
including single or multifamily housing.

Housing Needs
The City of Ames has had a slower pace of residential development since 2020 with the impact of COVID
19 than before 2020. Commercial and industrial development has been relatively stable in this same
timeframe, but the jobs housing imbalance has grown more pronounced putting more pressure on the
housing demand and pricing and making housing less attainable. During 2023,the impact of inflation
and higher interest rates caused a 5 year low in production of new housing with only 62 units of single
and single family attached units built in total.
At the same time the City has seen a decrease in housing production,the City of Ames adopted a new
Comprehensive Plan that identifies housing priorities for the City to expand opportunities for all types of
housing within the community and to encourage construction of additional ownership housing to
balance out the current owner/ renter tenure mix of the City. Plan 2040 accommodates growth of more
than 15,000 people over the next 17 years,which equates to potential housing construction averages of
300 housing units a year for single family and multi-family development. The Plan identifies priorities
for expansion of the City to meet the bulk of the City's new housing needs in defined growth areas to the
North, East, South, and West, but also emphasizes infill opportunities for redevelopment areas and for
small context sensitive housing options in existing neighborhoods.
Based upon the City recently approved Ames Plan 2040, support for a wide variety of housing types and
the public facilities are suitable for such new development,the City is qualified to designated the entire
city and Urvan Revitalization Areas for housing construction. Note that establishing a citywide URA does
not change existing land use designations or zoning regulations that apply to properties. All housing to
be constructed will be required to be consistent with ordinances, standards, and policies that are in
place for use and development of property.
Objectives of the Plan
Objectives of this Plan are to encourage new housing construction to increase the total amount of single-
family housing built within the City,to encourage a more diverse range of building types, support
expansion of ownership housing choices in the City, to primarily benefit construction of housing
attainable to moderate income and other workforce housing needs, utilize existing and planned
infrastructure in support of expanded housing options.

application for an exemption shall be filed by the owner of the property on a City application form
by February 1 of the assessment year for which the exemption is first claimed,
but not later than the year in which all improvements included in the project are first
assessed for taxation, or the following two assessment years, in which case the exemption
is allowed for the total number of years in the exemption schedule. Subsequent
applications may also be considered,to the extent permitted by the Act.
The City of Ames application form is available from the Planning and Housing Department.The
completed City application form must be submitted to the Planning and Housing Department in
accordance with the required timeline of February 1'described above and the limits of duration
of the Plan.
Upon receipt of a completed application,the City Council shall approve the application, subject to
review by the local assessor pursuant to the Act, if the project is in conformance with the Plan, is
located within the Urban Revitalization Area and if the improvements were made during the time
the area was so designated.The City Council shall forward for review all approved
applications to the appropriate local assessor by March 1 of each year with a statement
indicating which exemption applies.Applications for exemption for succeeding years on
approved projects shall not be required.
The local assessor shall review each first-year application by making a physical
review of the property, to determine if the improvements made increased the actual value

valuation determined pursuant to the Act to the county auditor at the time of transmitting
the assessment rolls. However, if a new structure is erected on land upon which no
structure existed at the start of the new construction,the assessor shall proceed to
determine the actual value of the property and certify the valuations to the county auditor
at the time of transmitting the assessment rolls.
The assessor shall notify the applicant of the determination and the assessor's decision may be
appealed to the local board of review at the times specified in Section 441.37 of the Code. If an
application for exemption is denied as a result of failure to sufficiently increase the value of the real

year when additional improvements are made to satisfy the requirements of the Act.
After the tax exemption is granted, with periodic physical review by the assessor,for the
time period specified in the tax exemption schedule under which the exemption was
granted,the tax exemptions for the succeeding years shall be granted without the requirement of a
new application.
15. Termination: Notwithstanding anything stated in this Article, if the City Council determines
at any time that the desired level of revitalization has been attained or economic conditions
